I used my mouse, pushing down and making small movements for precision work in high DPI settings. I really like control-focused pads like the GSR! I'm happy to see there's a new alternative from Artisan!!
if the new Zero is like the Rizz (which i owned since release), then this definitely gonna be a true control pad. With artisan quality, I highly look forward to see if this is the new pad that will overtake the Valorant scene again.

Been looking for a new mousepad replacement since I’ve been using the same Corsair one for abt 4 years 💀 hopefully can get my hands on one once released, good review 🤝
man .. i really love the artisan zero but the trapping hairs issue really bugs me, made me stray away from it. ive tried the lgg saturn pro because i heard its a zero clone without the trapped hairs, however this was completely just untrue in my experience. it doesn't trap hairs of course but the saturn felt very muddy and slow whereas artisan has that stopping power while making gliding no issue.
I recently ordered the raiden and shidenkai v2 but they were out of stock on the shidenkai so my order got cancelled and now I'm kind of glad I'll just get one of these when I can
I have a GSR II and play mostly Valorant when it comes to "serious" fps. Do you think a Type 99 Soft would be a functional improvement or pretty equal? I tend to focus on budget and performance, but I might look for one just for the extra room and that matcha color to match the keyboard I just made lol
I dont think it will make you a significantly better player but I also don't think you'll regret the purchase whatsoever. Just a different level of quality/experience
@@boardzy appreciate it and your reviews! Will likely check it out, especially if that matcha color matches the keyboard well too. The extra room would just be a bonus factor too
@@boardzy I'm looking for the muddiest pad to go with my superglides since I really need control. So far I'm thinking type-99 along with LLG Neutron. Do you have a recomendation for a super slow mousepad? If anything the slowest mousepad you've used up to date. lmk thx.
I've been using the qck+ for over 3 years, I have very snappy aim and push into the mousepad for fast flicks - so the GSR-SE didn't work for me. I was thinking of getting the Vaxee PA Black instead who many called a better qck, but now that this has come out would it be a better option? I'm assuming mid variant would be best
Yo boardzy great vid! Can you also review the yuki aim kitsune? People compare it’s performance to the artisan zero. Kind of in the market for a control pad.
guys, I couldnt find any reviewer pointing out this information that might help me. I use the gsr2 because its very smooth to the skin and glides very well on sleeves, artisan zero for example is so abrasive that I cant wear a sleeve, they get stuck and spin on my arm when im aiming. I live in a hot country so i need to wear sleeves in order to keep consistent. Is this mousepad smooth as the gsr2 ?
It is now May and i assume the type 99 will be out soon. So which hardness do i want to get if I want something as close to my gsr2 as possible ?? Right now I'm thinking of getting the soft and the mid because I assume from this video that the mid is the closest to the gsr2. But obviously not having them in person in front of me I wouldn't full know. I have used the x-soft zero and don't like how plushy it is, but i have never used a soft variant.
BOOG75 opinions coming when??? I see it on the desk. Surprised to see it after the Wooting rant video. I only expected you to try the upcoming Wooting80HE. But I guess well built mechanical keyboards are always appealing. More appealing than those few frames of latency difference that people fuss about.
ive been using an artisan zero xl soft for years, recently switched to the freefall sv base control+ for a few months, should i get this in the mid variant?
If you want a stiff and more dense feeling pad go mid. If you want a bit more plush than GSR go soft. Even though I called the mid safe feeling, it does have intense control
soft maybe even mid, qck feels more thin then the soft if i remember correctly you can always order 2 for same shipping price then just resell the one u dislike
Artisan still has the best pads IMO, particularly from the quality standpoint. I own XL Saturn and Venus pro and an XXL Saturn Pro and though they're nice, the stitching absolutely frays much faster and worse than Artisan.
Is the new artisan zero xxl gonna be the same desk pad size as the Saturn pro? I have this pre ordered since January and it’s gonna ship in early April but I really like the zero and wanted a deskpad size and a similar feel to the zero and now there might be. Unless it’s a 500x500 and not 1000x500 like the xxl on the Saturn pro.
@shotta219 my main game is Apex and I generally prefer faster pads. Mained the Hien soft for a long time. I love the OG Raiden also and the new Shidenkai V2. I would experiment with some faster pads and see if you like them but the Hien is a great pad
@@boardzy From what I know It's a fully adjustable mouse kinda like what mad catz had a few years back. Can change side and rear panels out, change it from a mid hump to a rear hump to an ergo all in one mouse. I can link you up with the guys I talked to about it if you'd like.
Compared to a LGG Jupiter? If you'd rather not buy what you call a "mud pad", I don't blame you, but its my favorite Pad so far, and the only high control pad that doesn't feel like someone is physically grabbing my mouse and holding it against my will lmao
i need somebody to talk about me the way boardzy talks about artizan

so did we get clickbaited with the thumbnail or are we getting a 2024 Integra Type S colorway on an Artisan pad?
Glass skates on this would be interesting to investigate perhaps. 'This is where mouse glide goes to die' lmao great review.
As mice get lighter, control pads will increase in popularity. This was a great choice by Artisan and has been a long time coming.
Control is only for people with poor mouse control or people who play counter strike the cheaters return

I gotta have this mousepad on release. I've mained G-sr(1,2) and qck heavy for years.
Is soft or mid closest to the g-sr2 feel?
Gsr’s are pretty muddy so I would assume soft or xsoft
Mid will be the closest
Ok, so the closest to gsr is mid, soft and xsoft? Okayy..
@@proxy4269 go with mid, other guy is hard capping
Gsr is a overrated and honestly terrible pad.
Whats your main pad these days? Im still in love with the LGG Saturn Pro
Type-99 sounds like the name of a new tank.
It's a name of a standard rifle used by Japan in ww2

Excited for the raiden soft I hope they make it black too instead of coffee brown
If the Type99 is slower than the GSR 2, wouldn't that mean that it is closer to a mud pad than a control pad?
Depends if we're talking about static friction kind of slow or dynamic friction kind of slow
A mud pad is just an extremely controlled pad lmao, also gsr 2 is defo quicker than the og one
Love blur effects on hand moves 😊
it's the autofocus
@@UCL67xkiWiCCrOZcN_3l30mw no way
Boardzy do you have any idea on when the xxl (500x500) artisans are going to be released?

This video was so shocking when i clicked on it i literally felt electricity flow through the air in my room.
How does it compare to Vaxee PA black? I have the Zero but changed to Vaxee because it was too fast. This could be perfect!
Boardzy with the early morning fire 🔥
Type-99.... where do they get these names
If you compare it to the vaxee pa black... Which one is slower? If the r99 happens to be slower I ll wait for this.
@boardzy tell artisan to come out with larger version mousepads atleast 500x500 plssss😢
I feel vindicated now. Thank you Mr. Artisan
is it more friction on the type99 or hien? im using hien right now idk the feel yet of the type 99 is it better?
How would this pad compare to something like the Saturn Pro?

Boog75 impressions when? :) I see it on the desk!
Their first true control pad was the Artisan Hayabusa
ngl I like all of the pads from artisan, but i really do wish they had a desk pad size
ive been using an artisan zero xl soft for years, recently switched to the freefall sv base control+ for a few months, should i get this in the mid variant?
wanna see type-99 vs jupiter pro review XD
I think u should compare it to old G-SR (not SE), would feel kinda same as old G-SR?
chat, this VS zero soft?
I prefer zero soft, just feels lighter and better with the increased speed. If you prefer a ton of control, this would make more sense
I think the best control pad is the EspTiger QingSui Ya Sheng. Can you review this pls
For switching over from the GSR 2 would you recommend the soft or the mid more?
If you want a stiff and more dense feeling pad go mid. If you want a bit more plush than GSR go soft. Even though I called the mid safe feeling, it does have intense control
@@boardzy thank you for the info, great video as always.
Do u think its a good choice for tracking games?
so for valorant, should i get the soft or mid?
god I can't wait to get dog hair in this bad boy
been waiting for this since gaming bazaar thingy... no news about RM types tho
is it worth upgrading to a type-99 from the LGG Saturn Pro?
I tried zero soft and saturn pro, but they felt a bit too fast for me. I normally use qck, so should i go for soft or xsoft?
soft maybe even mid, qck feels more thin then the soft if i remember correctly you can always order 2 for same shipping price then just resell the one u dislike

Which one is closer to the GSR/QCK?
Any details about the boardzy edition Saturn?
how does it handle lint?
really need them to make xl and xxl sizes

what skates are you using on the gpx?
Artisan still has the best pads IMO, particularly from the quality standpoint. I own XL Saturn and Venus pro and an XXL Saturn Pro and though they're nice, the stitching absolutely frays much faster and worse than Artisan.
